Long And Endless Night (poem)
I didn’t know the meaning of delight
Or hear the gentle words my lover shed
Until I kissed the long and endless night
-
From day we met our future seemed so bright
I gazed her way and this one truth would spread
I didn’t know the meaning of delight
-
Our evenings passed in dreams by candlelight
As passions from our heart soon filled our head
Until I kissed the long and endless night
-
And everyday adventure would invite
I’d laugh if someone walked to me and said
I didn’t know the meaning of delight
-
The moon was full and we were holding tight
Something was wrong her Joy was marred by dread
Until I kissed the long and endless night
-
And with the dawn the sun revealed my plight
I woke to find the life I loved had fled
I didn’t know the meaning of delight
Until I kissed the long and endless night
